hazardous materials. The hazard signage system (such as, but not limited

Materials for Emergency Response) shall be consistent with any such
signage required by federal law or regulation.

under this Section requiring a hazard signage system may not take effect

manner inconsistent with the regulation of those systems by the State under
this Act or by the federal government. This Section is a limitation under
subsection (i) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution on the
concurrent exercise by home rule units of powers and functions exercised
